What Happened: A joint venture between Magna International and LG tentatively named LG Magna e-Powertrain is nearing a deal for Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) electric vehicle project, according to The Korea Times.

“LG Magna e-Powertrain is very near to signing contracts with Apple under which they could handle the initial volume production of Apple EVs,” a source told The Korea Times.

The first-generation release of the Apple electric vehicle could have smaller numbers and be used to evaluate the marketability of the brand.

LG Display, LG Chem and LG Energy are already in Apple’s parts supply chain, which could help the technology giant with concerns over supply chain issues.

The LG Manga e-Powertrain joint venture would be 51% owned by LG and 49% owned by Magna.

Why It’s Important: LG Electronics abandoned its handset business and is seeing investors push for the company to enter vehicle-related businesses.

“As the LG brand is not that strong in the global EV industry, it needs a pretty competitive reference to show off its transformation efforts,” a source told The Korea Times.

Magna makes automotive electronics for companies and has pushed into more vehicle production for its partners. The company is working with Fisker Inc (NYSE:FSR) on its Ocean SUV production.

Magna also signed a deal with REE Automotive and is an investor in the company going public via a SPAC merger with 10X Capital Venture (NASDAQ:VCVC).

REE Automotive is set to provide a modular EV with Magna International and supply it to partners.

MGA Price Action: Shares of Magna International were trading 2.88% higher to $92.07 at last check Tuesday.
